<h1>Attribute element list qualification</h1>
<p>The elements of a business attribute are the unique values for that 
 attribute. For example, 2006 and 2007 are elements of the Year attribute, 
 while New York and London are elements of the City attribute. On a report, 
 attributes are chosen to build the report, but once the report is executed, 
 the attribute's elements are displayed in the rows or columns.</p>
<p>The filter type called an attribute element list qualification qualifies 
 (or filters) report data based on a list of attribute elements belonging 
 to an attribute. For example, the attribute Customer has elements which 
 are individual customer names. For a report containing the attributes 
 Region, Customer, and Income Range, you can use an attribute element list 
 qualification on the attribute Customer to obtain income data for only 
 those customers you specify in your filter's list.</p>
<p>The procedure below shows you how to create a stand-alone attribute 
 element list qualification filter.</p>
<h2>To filter data based on business attribute elements</h2>
<ol start="1" type="1" class="whs1">
	
<li class=p><p>On the project's main page, click <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Create 
 Filter</B></span>. The New Filter page opens.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>In the pane on the left, navigate to the attribute that 
 has the elements by which you want to filter a report's data.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>Right-click the attribute and select <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Add 
 to Filter</B></span>.</p></li>
	<ul>
<li style="list-style: disc;" type=disc class=p><p>If DHTML is 
 disabled, select the attribute and click <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Add 
 &gt;</B></span> to add the attribute to the Filter panel.</p></li>
	</ul>
	
<li class=p><p class="whs2">Create the list of elements 
 which the filter will use to filter data. To do this:</p></li>
	<ol type="a" class="whs3">
		
<li class=p><p class="whs2">Click <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Select</B></span>.</p></li>
		
<li class=p><p class="whs2">From the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>In 
 List</B></span> drop-down menu, select either <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>In 
 List</B></span> or <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Not In List</B></span>:</p></li>
		<ul>
<li style="list-style: disc;" type=disc class=p><p class="whs2"><span 
 style="font-weight: bold;"><B>In List</B></span> lets you define what attribute 
 elements the filter should include data for.</p></li>
			
<li style="list-style: disc;" type=disc class=p><p class="whs2"><span 
 style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Not In List</B></span> lets you define what attribute 
 elements the filter should exclude data for.</p></li>
		</ul>
		
<li class=p><p class="whs2">The <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Available</B></span> 
 area on the left displays the elements that belong to the attribute you 
 chose for this filter. Select an element and then click the right arrow 
 to move the element to the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Selected</B></span> 
 area. Press CTRL to select multiple elements. If the Available list contains 
 a large number of elements, use the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Search 
 for</B></span> field to locate the element(s) you want to select.</p></li>
	</ol>
</ol>
<ol start="5" type="1" class="whs1">
	
<li class=p><p>Click the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Apply</B></span> 
 icon <img src="images/apply.gif" x-maintain-ratio="TRUE" width="17px" height="17px" border="0" class="img_whs4"> to create your filtering condition.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>From the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>File</B></span> 
 menu, select <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Save As</B></span>. The Save 
 As dialog box opens.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>Navigate to the folder where you want to save the filter. 
 Enter a <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Name</B></span> and <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Description</B></span> 
 for the filter, and click <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Ok</B></span>. 
 Your new filter is saved.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>The filter you created can now be added to a report. For steps, see 
 
<a HREF="Creating_a_filter.htm">Adding a stand-alone filter to a report</a>.</p>
